The Rocket Science Behind The Best Mange Home Remedy For Dog Mange

By Wendell Ruben

How The Best Mange Home Remedy For Dog Mange can help a dog is a short article that describes four home remedies for mange and reveals how these remedies fight mange. These home remedies owe their effectiveness to the power of science.

In cage DL the newest arrival quivers from painful itching, and when the dog cannot tolerate the itching any longer it bites another patch of dried skin. Up to now, attempts to control the dryness and itching have not worked. Do homemade remedies work? How do the dogs react to side effects? Can these remedies bring back a shiny coat? These questions occupy the thoughts of pet owners.

Hydrogen Peroxide Plus Borax Powder Remedy

The first remedy is a solution made with borax powder mixed with hydrogen peroxide. This solution penetrates the outer layer of skin, and kills the buried parasite that causes mange. A person cannot see the parasite but the solution still kills it. The peroxide sinks into the skin pulling the borax inside also. The borax dries the parasite then kills it. The formula for this solution does not need exact amounts, but between four and eight teaspoons poured into one liter (or one quart) of one percent hydrogen peroxide should suffice. Stir this solution until the borax powder disappears. This is the same powdered borax long used to wash laundry clothes.

For safety, follow these rules. Do not drink this solution or splash it into the eyes of humans or dogs. Borax powder is slightly poisonous. Never use boric acid because boric acid is highly poisonous. Only use borax powder also called powdered borax. Only use hydrogen peroxide that is one percent concentrated. The percent concentration is written on the side of the bottle of hydrogen peroxide. Use water if one percent hydrogen peroxide cannot be found. The formula for the water solution is two or at most four cups of borax powder spilled out into one gallon (or four liters) of water. Stir the solution to make the borax powder melt.

Let the sun and wind dry the solution that you pour on the dog. Pour the solution onto the skin of the dog that has the mange disease in the skin. Do this daily or weekly for thirty days in a row. Let the mangy patch of skin stay wet until it dries by itself.

Soap As A Remedy

Another best home remedy for mange is slightly soapy water. Soapy water kills insects. A soapy water solution at only one percent concentration performs at optimal insect killing power. Ninety nine teaspoons of water plus one teaspoon of dish washing liquid or soap make a one percent solution of bug-killing water. A one or two percent soapy water solution served a century ago as a cheap and effective insecticide. Soapy water stronger than two percent loses its bug drowning effectiveness. Give a dog a bath in slightly soapy water but do not rinse until five or ten minutes have passed. This soapy remedy effectively kills several types of insects that crawl on top of the skin and fur.

Oil Treatment For Mange

This next best home remedy smears oil onto the skin and fur of dogs. As odd as it sounds, oil is thick and kills by depriving insects of the air they need to breathe. Oil in its many forms is just lying about the house. Oil is made from petroleum and from plants such as corn, soy, olives, and sunflowers. Butter contains animal oils. These oily products can smother small insects so that they die.

Clean Area Remedy

One more best remedy for mange is to prevent new infestations by parasites. To prevent new parasites from entering, pet owners need to clean the areas their dog occupies frequently. Pet owners should also observe the behavior their dog. They will better detect excessive scratching and chewing. Biting one spot for a long time is a symptom that could indicate mange. Gray leathery patches of skin are not good signs.

The Science Of Home Remedies

Home style dog care mentioned in this short article conforms to basic principles of the science of pet care. These treatments accomplish the following tasks.

Kill parasites not seen.

Kill parasites that are seen.

Block new parasites from infesting host.

Mange is caused by an external parasite called mites. Other external parasites include fleas and mosquitoes. Mites crawl around on top of the skin and burrow under the skin. So the hydrogen peroxide-borax home remedy kills mites under the skin. The shampoo and oil home remedies drown and suffocate mites on top of the skin. Cleaning the sleeping area, bedding and toys prevents new mites from hopping onto the dog.
